I can find a German speaking person to call them.

Can someone please post a Phone, Fax, and Address.

I think I am needing these 4 wheel discs.

Thank you in advance

I classic, German, contra-entrepreneurial style, Winkler (of Herne Germany)
is woefully unaware of how Americans expect service-minded organizations
should operate. For example, unless you speak German and call them directly
on the phone, they typically won't respond (or take forever to do so) to
email, faxes, or letters.

Detlev Hanschke has been trying to get permission to publish the Winkler
catalog on the web (I've even offered to help him do the conversion) -- and
Winkler's only concern is that it might "cut into his business" because he
sells those catalogs at a profit. Go figure!!! (who said German's weren't a
bit crazy -- they'd double their business if they gave the information away
for free!). Achh!
